A Nigerian man has taken to social media to call on President Bola Tinubu to order the immediate arrest of popular singer Wizkid over an alleged “mid” song. This incident has drawn considerable attention online, showcasing the strong opinions that the public holds about music and artists in Nigeria.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the man addressed the president directly, criticizing Wizkid’s newly released track, “Piece of My Heart.” His frustration with the song was evident, as he expressed his disappointment over its quality and impact on his day. The term “mid,” commonly used in contemporary slang, implies that the song is mediocre or lacks the expected quality of Wizkid’s previous work.
He labeled the song as “mid” and demanded that the president take action, claiming the track had “ruined his day” and was a “jailable offense.” In his post, he stated: “I call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to order the immediate arrest of Wizkid. You cannot ruin our precious day with ‘Mid.’ Jailable offense.” His hyperbolic request for Wizkid's arrest highlights the passionate and sometimes humorous responses that artists receive from their fans and critics alike in the ever-evolving music scene in Nigeria.
Following the post, several concerned individuals flooded the comment section to share their thoughts. The reactions varied, with some supporting the man's views while others found humor in the situation, demonstrating the diverse opinions that music can evoke among listeners.
